WELLBEING AND INCLUSIONWe believe your university experience should give you the opportunity to meet your full potential and provide you with the skills for your future.

The health and wellbeing of our students has always been of the utmost importance to us, but especially so during this time of uncertainty. Our #HealthyDMU initiative is a whole university approach to feeling good and staying well. During term time #HealthyDMU masterclasses take place, which focus on a variety of topics such as mindfulness, managing pressure effectively and building confi dence. We recently launched the #HealthyDMU Hub which provides advice and information to help support your wellbeing, such as exercise and volunteering opportunities. We want to make sure that whatever support you need, we are there for you.

DMUfreedomDMUfreedom, our free-thinking equality, diversity and inclusion charter, was created to put inclusivity at the heart of everything we do at DMU. At its simplest, we believe what you believe – that your university experience should give you all the time, space and support you need to fi nd your true self, and choose your own life and career path.

Recreational sport

We’re committed to providing every opportunity for students to maintain

a fi t and active lifestyle, whatever their ability or confi dence level.

Our DMUactive programme is run by students and offers free activities,

one-off events and internal leagues, in a range of sports including

tennis, basketball, lacrosse, netball and badminton.

The programme is working to create safe and fun activities,

and sessions will run face-to-face where possible in line with

Government advice. However if this is not possible there will also

be an online provision.

Performance sportThe Watershed, our indoor training environment, offers land-training facilities for rowing, as well as a dedicated gym where our strength and conditioning coaches work with sports teams to develop fi tness and strength. They are also on hand to educate students about how to lead a fi t and healthy lifestyle and maintain a balanced diet.

This year, DMUsport will work within guidelines from the government, national governing bodies for sport, and UKactive, to ensure all activities are safe for students and plan to offer as much sport and physical activity sessions for all abilities as possible within those guidelines.

The DMUsport team are committed to delivering in-person activity where it is safe and possible, and will continue to support you virtually to make sure you have access to sport if in-person activity is not available.

Stay active while you studyDMUactive is a daily programme of free recreational sports opportunities for students to become physically active alongside their studies. Sessions are free and run throughout the academic year – all you need is your DMU student card.

1. Be sure to set aside some personal time for self-care. Dedicate this time to things that make you feel your best.

2. Pay attention to your body and remember to stay hydrated and eat well-balanced meals. Keep a water bottle on you so you don’t have to waste money buying new bottles every day. Also, try to meal-prep ahead of deadlines so you have healthy, quick and easy meals on hand.

3. You may not have time to squeeze in a full workout every day, but incorporating small physical tasks into your daily routine is a great way to keep yourself active. Simple things like taking the stairs instead of the lift, or taking a brisk walk around campus are great ways to inject some movement into a long study day.

Wellbeing TipsAs a student, you may be juggling a variety of activities,

responsibilities and social groups. This can be diffi cult at

times, so here are a few tips to help you make time for you.
